<h4>Chapter 245: No Way Out</h4>
<b>?</b>
Ye Jinrong cried and kneeled in front of the lord’s mansion. The news quickly passed to Liu Li’s ear.
“Ye really has a hard heart. I know she is a cold-hearted person.” Liu Li yed with the canary and said in a weird way.
“For sure, Ye’s seconddy is pregnant even and it seemed that the baby ising out soon.”Little Ya said.
“Ye’s seconddyes to Ye Jinxuan for help, it seems that she just has no choice. The government is investigating cases among governors. Minister Mu and Wei Liujiang truly hit the rock.” Liu Li sneered.
“If heir-son lord help, they might be saved?”
“Huh, it is hard to say. Last time he could take care of Ye prefect’s thing. The witness changed his own words and said it was framed. Censorate couldn’t do anything about it, as there was not enough evidence. But this time, the destruction of the dam is a true fact. Even though they didn’t bribe, it was a crime for duty of care.” Liu Li said slowly.
“Second youngdy’s family must be really worried.” Little Ya sneered.
“Worried? They will be more worriedter on!” Liu Li’s mind turned around and whispered to little ya and Little Ya nodded.
Ye Jiayao was really worried, and she felt terrible. She originally intended to stay away from this kind of person forever, but she couldn’t hide from her.
After a while, Jinyao came back and went back and delivered a message.
“Big sister, I have sent back second sister.”
“Ok...” Ye Jiayao was absent-minded.
“When I got home, the wife of Mu’s family was there, and I saw that she swore at second sister like pping in her face. She said that second sister brought bad omen. Bad luck to her own husband and Mu’s family too. Anyway, it was difficult to hear. ” Jinyao sighed.
Ye Jiayao knew that Mu’s family treated Jinrong badly. but this mistake wasmitted by Liujiang, and Qie should’ve med her nephew. What was the point to me Jinrong.
“Your mother is not there?” Ye Jiayao was curious. Ning was so strong. If Qie dared to say that when Ning was there, they might have a fight.
Jinyao said with a sigh of relief: “My mother went back to Yangzhou one night before, and I heard from second sister, that she rushed back as father was going to marry.”
No wonder, I knew that Ning would not let go without a fight.
“Second sister said that mother was very angry and said that Dad was cheating on her, she wanted to revenge.”
Eh… more troubles. Ye Binghuai, Ye Binghuai. If you don’t make mistakes, you won’t die. But you want to die for sure.
Ye Jiayao was deeply troubled. She was a bit dizzy as she drank a bit of alcohol during lunch. Now she felt dizzier and she waved her hand powerlessly: “Whatever they want to do. I don’t want to get involved and I am not able to do anything. You go back first. I need to rest a bit.”
Jinyao looked at the big sister’s tiring face, she was worried and said: “I will get Qiaoxi toe in and serve.”
Ye Jiayaoyed down for a while but couldn’t sleep. She closed her eyes, and all the things in her head were messy. Then she just got up instead and took out the flower stretcher to embroider.
Ink blue satin, embroidered with a few bamboos, the pattern was simple and generous, the color was not soplicated, she is a noob in making this, she can only pick these simple embroideries. Originally, she intended to make a fan bag, and give to Chunyu at the Dragon Boat Festival. But her movements were really slow. She couldn’t finish the embroidery for half a month. However, Qiao Qi’sment was that her work was not as badparing with other needle workers even though she was a bit slower.
That was for sure, people like her who were highly savvy. She could do anything well, as long as they do it with their hearts. she was not serious about embordering before.
Slowly threading the needles, her mood could gradually calm down.
The afternoon time passed.
“Heir-son lord ising back?” The voice of Peach came from outside.
Ye Jiayao stopped the work in her hand and told Qiaoxi to quickly hide it.
Here, Qiaoxi just put the flower stretcher into the cupboard, and Xia Chunyu opened the curtain and came in.
Qiaoxi went to fetch water.
Xia Chunyu saw Ye Jiayao sitting cross-legged on the couch, asked a gang to be in a daze, came over, scraped her nose, and asked: “What are you thinking?”
Ye Jiayaozy: “Thinking about things that are not happy.”
“I don’t like what you want to do.” Xia Yu squatted and sat down.
“I don’t want to think about it, but I can find it in trouble.” Ye Jiayao said that she hade to her in the afternoon.
Xia Chunyu was frowning, and was very angry with Ye Jinrong’s behavior of pulling Yaoyao. This is in front door of Lord’s mansion. Isn’t she doing this to make Yaoyao embarrassed?
“You tell the truth, do you want to help?” Xia Chunyu thought about respecting the meaning of Yaoyao.
If Yaoyao wanted to help, then it was still feasible to operate corruption and make corruption. Although he was ashamed of this behavior.
Ye Jiayao sighed: “Wei Liujiang that bitch. I hope he gets what he deserves. I just think Jinrong is pregnant and feel bad for them. Also Jinrong can only reply on me now. If I don’t help, she will keep annoy us. Having a rtive like this is really unlucky.”
Xia Chunyu stroke the back of her hand: “Let me know more details first then we will see. If I can help then I will. Otherwise it is not your fault. But Minister Mu has no way out this time. This morning’s meeting, Governor Tai used him heaps of crimes. Also minister of works and right vice minister had no way out either. The emperor was angry and would investigate them seriously.”
“Eh, then Wei Liujiang must be dead too?”
Xia Chunyu frowned: “somewhat troublesome.”
“Then you should be careful. If you cannot help, then don’t. You must not get involve inside either.” Ye Jiayao said.
Xia Chunyu went out after dinner and came back atte night. He brought some bad news. It was said that governor just finished the investigation. The contractor used that Wei Liujiang requested him to follow his order. The 200k silver from government became 150k when it arrived to Wei Liujiang’s hands. And it became 80k when it arrived at contractor’s hand. What could you do with 80k? It would be good if they could use sand to build the dam.
No idea how much dirty money Minister Mu took, but 70k was taken by Wei Liujiang as evidence. He could not get away from it. The worst part was that Wei Liujiang was weak enough to confess all his crimes before people use capital punishment.
Ye Jiayao was surprised. No other way out!
“This guy is dumb. He confessed everything including minister Mu’s crimes. He thought he could get away by giving out others’ crimes. Yaoyao, this kind of person. He really should’ve been dead. I am scared to help him.” Xia Chunyu eximed.
“But this time the capital prefecture acted quickly.”
Ye Jiayao was speechless and thought for a moment and said: “Just leave it. I will let Jinyao tell Jinrong tomorrow.”
Xia Chunyu said: “You should go by yourself and tell her everything clearly. Jinyao might not be able to convey clearly.”
Ye Jiayao took Jinyao to Wei’s mansion next morning.
They have been to this mansion before when they had wee party. Now it felt cold and not that many people around anymore.
They didn’t even have many servants any more. When they got to the door and heard that Jinrong swearing at someone inside.
“Fuck off, all fuck off. You are all bad and have no conscience. Just Fuck off!”
Two ve girls came out from the room sadly.
Jingyao called one of them: “A Lian, how is firstdy doing?”
A Lian said sadly: “Last night Xiahe sister and housekeeper took firstdy’s money and things and ran away. The firstdy is really mad and she believes no one now.”
Jinyao said angrily: “Xiahe is terrible. She served firstdy when she was young. She is such a disloyal person to do such things.”
Ye Jiayaoughed coldly in her heart. Xiahe that ve girl was never a good person. Why would they count her to be a loyal servant?
“reported to governors yet? How much exactly did you lose?” Ye Jiayao asked.
A Lian answered: “The first youngdy didn’t want to report, and I am not sure how much they lost exactly.”
Ye Jiayao thought that it must be a huge amount as Jinrong didn’t want to report to governors.
Two people got into the room and saw Jinrong crying on the bed and she looked tired and desperate.
“Big sister, is there any news?” Jinrong grabbed Ye Jiayao’s hand and asked immediately.
Ye Jiayao saw her look as she was so fallen and poor today. She tried so hard to marry Wei Liujiang at the beginning and now she got into such an awkward and sad situation.
“Third sister, get some water and let second sister to wash her face.”
Ye Jiayao took her to sit in front of dressing table.
“Did they steal everything?”
Jinrong cried again: “They stole everything in my dressing today and the small box inside wardrobe, there was over hundred thousands of silver notes inside. Big sister, I have nothing now. Nothing!”
Ye Jiayao wanted to say that she deserved it but she saw that she was so desperate at the moment. She couldn’t bear criticizing her any more.
“How about your mother? Still have everything?”
Jinrong was shocked: “I was only worried about my side and didn’t check my mum’s room.”
Jinrong called A Lian immediately to ask her to check Madam’s room.
After a while, A Lian came back and said that Madam’s room was locked and doors and windows were closed. No one had been there.
Jinrong said: “Mother always took her key with her and no servants have it.”
She took her key with herself? Ye Jiayao thought that Ning must have something important in her room.
“Jinrong, listen to me. Your brother-inw came back and I asked him to help to talk to governors. But it was toote, Liujiang confessed everything. He not only confessed his crimes as well as minister Mu’s crimes. There is no other way now.” Ye Jiayao told her the fact peacefully as there was no point to hide. Just embrace it.
Jinrong was shocked and looked at Big sister unbelievably. She said emotionally: “Big… big sister, is that true?”
Ye Jiayao nodded : “So, I have to inform you early and make sure you understand and prepare what ising next. The governors knew the truth, they woulde to take your mansion away soon.”
